Game, set and match – It's time for Wimbledon 2023!

Fans from all over the world will descend on Wimbledon again this year to witness the thrills of grass court tennis, now in its 136th year. Each day there will be plenty of action to capture and this gives you an opportunity to create some food and drink options to enhance your customers visit.

You could section off an area near to a TV, dress the tables with Gingham tablecloths, fake grass and bunting etc.

Create an outside space in your terrace, garden, or patio, set up a hydration station or mocktail bar to encourage people outside to dine or just enjoy a drink.

Mocktails – give your drinks a bit of a makeover and dress them up for Wimbledon, you can find a great selection of mixers along with ideas for recipes when you visit the Fentiman stand on our Foodie Expo or take a look at Refresco to shop for ginger beer, Suso and cranberry juice, all great additions for the mocktail season.

Picnic on a plate – there’s nothing better than enjoying the outdoors with some flavoursome foods that you can share with friends and family, visit our deli section to discover fillings, quiche, pates, cheeses and more.

Add our Artisan bread which comes in 7 different varieties, or take a look at our speciality bread range to find Mezzaluna, Rye, Stone baked, Fig and our delicious Caramelised Onion Loaf.

Not forgetting your 5 A Day, you can add a rainbow of vegetables and salad items to bring some colour and crunch to your picnic plates, ploughman’s or salads, you must try our British tomatoes now in season and bursting with flavour.

Pickles, chutneys and dressings can all add to your offer and we have a great range of condiments to complete your Wimbledon menu this summer.

Wimbledon would not be a tournament without Strawberries! Serve them up on their own with a dash of cream, make strawberry tarts using our readymade cases, whip up a mousse, offer freshly made milkshakes, serve with scones, add to trifles, or try a strawberry tarte tatin using our puff pastry blocks.

Chef’s tip - add a touch of black pepper to bring out the flavour or try balsamic vinegar, it really does work!

You could even make strawberries the centrepiece of a savoury salad this summer. Development Chef Oli Lloyd shares how with this tempting Strawberry Salad with Basil, Feta and Hot Smoked Salmon recipe.

And, don’t forget the ice-cream, we stock all the top brands plus we have some great resources and inspiration on the following stands at our Foodie Expo.
